Treasury Changes.

Spec1al TO the GlODe.
WASHINGTON, March 26.-It is author
itatively announced that Assistant Secretary
Fairchild will be the successor of Secretary
Manning in the treasury department, bnt
it is not certain that Chief Graves, of the
bureau of engraving and printing, will sue
ceed Treasurer Jordan. No man will be
appointed to the place not entirely accepta-
bic to Mr.. Fairchild, and it is thought that
for several reasons the president will prefer
to make an appointment from outside the
service. 1t is reported that an Ohio man
may be selected, while New Yorker will
be chosen for the assistant secretaryship
left vacant by the promotion OF Mr.. Fair
child. Since Secretary Manning's retire
ment was announced there has been lurk-
ing fear Of the possibility that the new head
of the department might not be in full ac-
cord with civil service reform. The selec-
tion of Mr.. Fairchild allays these fears. 1t
is not expected there will be any immediate
change in the policy of the department
under Mr.. Fairchild. He has been practi-
cally at the head of the department ever
since Mr.. Manning's attack, and though he
may have been controlled by the policy al
ready established, it is believed that he
acted chiefly upon his own judgment. He
has studied the finances with great care, and
has the department fully in hand. There
is perfect confidence felt in his ability to
deal with any condition of the finances
that is likely to arise. 1t is thought that he
will make a great effort to avoid the neces-
sity of an extra session of congress, and
unless something unexpected should happen
he will probably be able to do so. He will
probably make the purchase of SAG, 900, 900
of bonds required for the sinking fund
during the year, all in the first half. If a
strain should come this would keep money
easy until congress met in December, and it
would remain with that body to act upon
the question.

The Situation at Yankton.

Speclal 10 Ine OlODe.
YANKToN, Dak., March 26.-There has
been no marked change in the river at this
point to-day, the food remaining nearly
stationary. 1t is now just high enough to
slOp over badly, with little additional
water, and parties from the bottoms just
below the Jim have all tine water they can
stand, and little more rise will drive them
to high grounds. The ground is wet in all
the lower spots. and is slowly encroaching
on the higher points. There has been
fall of six inches at Yankton and a rise
below the Jim. There was some running
ice in the river here to-day. The Mil
waukee washont has increased so that
trains can now go no farther east than Yer
million, and can come no farther west than
Elk Point. This shows an increase in the
flood below Vermilon, as yesterdays train
ran as far as Burbank. On the river be-
tween Gayville and Meekling. at point
where there has been no cause to expect an
overflow, strong current suddenly
set i'll from the river and speedily
washed out about twenty feet of the Mil
Waukee railroad track and roadbed. This
current is following the roadbed down
towards the Vernilion river, and con-
siderable flow of water has already been de-
veloped. The passenger train which went
from Yankton to the Vermilion washout
this morning is caught between two wash
outs and is there to stay until the flood SUBJ
sides. This is further evidence of rising
river below Yankton. Yesterday morning
it overfowed between Elk Point and Yer
million, and this afternoon between Meek
ling and Gayville, each fresh overflow being
many miles up the river from the previous
overflow. This forenoon and during last
night the river was slowly falling at Yank-

HUNSTER'S STORY.
In the conversation that followed Huns

ling in their nature, and are given to the
public for what they are worth. Said he:
Strange things happen in penitentaries
sometimes. This is the first one was ever
in, but my experience here is sufficient to
prove to me that in regard to penitentiaries
'all things are not what they seem," and the
officials often take a deeper interest
in the welfare of the female con-
victs than seems necessary. l was eye wit
ness to transaction here in September, 1885,
that opened my eyes and made me very in
dignant. OF course we are nothing but con-
victs in here, and the world cares nothing
about US, but claim that we are men and
women, and as such are entitled to at least
decent treatment. One day in September,

HUNsTER,s STORY.
A CoIored Convict Tells a Tale of
Exciting Interest.

Strange stories are often told by these
conYicts when released from the prison
walls, and often times they get an oppor-
tunity to pour into the ears of visitors in
teresting tales long before they are given
their freedom. Many of these stories are
concocted and without foundation, told for
the purpose Of creating prejudice or public
sentiment against the management, that the
convict hopes may result in change and
that he will be rewarded for giving his evi-
dence freely by a Communication of his sent
ence or his pardon. 1t is seldom that this
result is reached, as the testimony of a con-
vict has hardly a feathers weight in the
scale of public opinion. Yet there are those
who are unprejudiced enough to believe the
word of man though he be unfortunate
enough to wear stripes and his hair closely
cropped.

ALBERT LEA. March OR. NJ. Todd,
president of the Albert Lea Steam Mill
company, is the recipient of stroke of
good fortune which he not only deserves
and which he will sensibly and generously
use, but which the most lucky fayorites of
fate would consider themselves fortunate to
secure. Several years ago he bought tract
of land in the mountain wilds of Arizona
which gave some indications Of silver bear
ing, and for the past year has been pros
pecting it, the results of which he COM
municated to ex-senator Tabor and other
bonanza millionaires Of Colorado. They
sent their experts to examine and the re-
port was so certain of the richness of the
rock that on visit to Denver last week
they closed bargain with Mr.. Todd by
which he has their notes and bonds for
$3.50, 900, payable monthly within one year.
Ex-senator Tabor is the leading purchaser,
and his is the first name signed to the notes
and contract, which are now on deposit in
the bank of H. D. Brown & Co., in this
city. Besides this Mr.. Todd reserved an
eighth interest in the mines. Experts re-
port that at least 1000, 900 of silver-bear-
ing rock is in sight,

CONVICTS WITH KEYS.

mens.
That convict sentenced to several years
of hard labor and close confinement in a
pententiary should be allowed to carry in
his pocket a key to all outside gate in
the wall that stood between him
and liberty. would give rise to won
derment in the minds of most people and
if you tell the average American citizen
that such is the case he will doubt your
word. and when Hunster told his story and
how he unlocked the gate and cached the
prison yard, the question naturally came to
mind, "Where did you get your key?"
The present warden of the penitentary
when asked if the convicts were allowed to
carry keys to the gates IN their pockets said
they were not, but that when he assumed
the wardenship of the prison he found that
there were several cOnvictS who carried
keys to two of the outer gates and he had
the locks on these gates changed.
After the change was made he said keys
to these gates were handed to the deputy
warden by citizens down town. From his
statement it would seem that keys to the
outside gates of the penitentiary had been
strewn broadcast throughout the town. and
that the prison yard and cells were about as
free to certain individuals outside of the
walls as they were to the officials.
The appointment of Warden Stordock
has been fruitful of some changes that may
not be without their benefits to the institu-
ton. Mary Weischer now spends her days
within the prison walls. She no longer
makes her morning journey to the warden's
kitchen to fulfill the office of servant. She
is a convict. and is treated as such.
Naturally enough Mary is opposed to this
sudden shutting off of her freedom, but the
new warden says he don't know that he has
any right to get his housework done at the
expense of the state.
But Mary is not the only person who
does not like the rules established
by Warden Stordock. Lawyer Crib
BILE, OF St. Paul, it is said, is
disappointed. The new administration
says that Gribble for several years has
claimed to have clients among the female
inmates of the penitentiary. and that as
often as once in two weeks he has been in
the habit of visiting them in their ward
and holding consultations with them.
This Warden Stordock has objected to and
Mr.. Gribbell is alleged to have written him
a letter saying that no man had right to
stand between lawyer and his client and
that heretofore he had been allowed to con-
suit with the female convicts when he chose.
and that whenever he visited the prison he
had always been given his dinner. In re-
ply to this letter Warden Stordo ok wrote
that he should object to Mr.. Gribble or any
+ other lawyer going in and out among the
G onvictS as he chose. unless the
inspectors ordered him to do
otherwise. and acknowledged that
he didn't see why he should establish
a free lunch route for Mr.. Gribble, at the
expense Of tine state. Mr.. Gribble re-
ported the matter to Gov. McGill, but
Warden Stordock's action was sanctioned.
and Mr.. Gribble is still on the outside OF

Gated report reached this city to-day that
another extensive gorge has formed few
miles south of Washburn and is likely to
put that village back in ''Wet-sheet" pack
again for several days. Communication is
still cut off between that point and this
city by reason of the swollen tributaries of
the Missouri and destroyed bridges. The
gorge at and below the city is still intact,
and there are no signs of any change. The
chances are that Bismarck, Fort Lincoln,

contents.

not so, but insisted that he had told the
states counsel the whole truth. Albert
Adams, who drove the hack that followed
Haddock and Turner to Greenyille just
previous to the killing, was placed on the
stand, and was conspicuous for what he
didn't know. He admitted taking certain
parties to that place, but didn't know who
they were and didn't know who paid him.
Chris Schultz, proprietor of the GEeenZille
house, remembered that hack drove up to
his place, but did not know any of the oc-
cupants nor what they wanted. Willie
Junk, son of the proprietor Of the saloon
WHERE THE CROWD MET
before going to the scene of the murder,
was sworn, but could remember only. y.one
who was there, and that was LeaMtt.
Street Commissioner Scollard. who was
at Junk's that night testified that Treiber,
Munchrath, Arensdorf and Leavitt were
there and went out together. Aid. r. G.
Grady was at Junk's with Scollard on the
night Of the murder. On going from the
bar-room into the wholesale department he
saw Fred Munchrath, Jr., George Trieber,
John Arensdorf, Il. Leavitt and several
others that he did not know. Leavittspoke
about paying for hack, bought cigars and
said ''let us CO." The crowd then went to-
gether. He was outside when he heard the
shot. That was about twenty minutes
later. United States Attorney Murphy tes-
titled that he came in from Fort Dodge on
the night of Aug. 3, and took hack for
home. Some one hailed the driver on
Fourth street. west of Pearl, and when the
hack stopped he saw Munchrath on the side
walk and talked with him. An effort to
bring out the conversation was resisted by
the defense and sustained. Court then ad-
journed till O'Clock Monday.
THE LAST JUROR
called in the Haddock case Thursday fore
noon was John Adair, near neighbor Of
John Arensdorf, Democrat and a sup.
posed ardent sympathizer with the defense.
The state had exhausted its last peremptory
challenge and could not dislodge him in
that way, and defense passed him without
question. It was at once said by those
who knew him that he would never vote to
convict Arensdorf. Since then close watch
has been kept on him, and at sos this
evening he was seen to emerge from the
Franz brewery, of which Arensdorf is super
intendent in company with c. F. Hoyt,
president Of the concern and chief bonds
man for Arensdorf This fact is sIgnif-
cant and is the subject of much talk among
! those who know of it.
